Trump Suggests He Is Ready To Leave Climate Accord

President Donald Trump has signaled he is ready to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement ahead of an expected announcement this week. He is still weighing on a final decision amid new pressure from foreign governments, business leaders and members of his party who remain committed to the agreement.

During conversations with European leaders, western diplomats and aides during his first international trip, Trump had indicated he wanted to honor his campaign commitments to withdraw from the agreement or to make significant changes to the U.S. carbon reduction goals.

The White House declined to say when Trump planned to make his intentions known but officials familiar with the decision said it could come as early as Wednesday.
